grom 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 ok so the beem pattern on my angel eyes are crazey. Ive had a go at levelling them with the screws on the back but havnt had much luck. when poking around on t'internet Ive noticed people saying you have to fit the motor from your old headlights. dont remember seeing one and definatley didnt disconnect anything other than the wiring loom. there is a dial on the dash for it though.any help would be apreciated Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 does your headlight switch have a level roller adjuster? Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 like the roller on the left of this switch Link to post Share on other sites

grom 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Ive had another look and a mess around with a screw driver on the back of the headlight. doesnt seem to make much difference Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Have you put HIDs in the lights by any chance? Link to post Share on other sites

grom 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 these are the headlights in question (just incase anyone happens to own them)http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-MK3-92-98-ANGEL-EYES-STYLE-BLACK-HEADLIGHTS-/140497208194?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20b6494382 Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 The 2 screw on original headlights only adjust the beamslightly...in the outer lower corner of each lamp there should be a big kind of nut which is where the electric adjuster would go if you head electric levellers.....your lamps may be different Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 if you dont have the headlight switch in the pic then your car doesnt have electric adjustment.there is usually a long threaded rod on the back of the light housing, probably in the lower corner towards the outside of the light, if you turn it you either move the lenses up or down, bringing them into level. sometimes the piece of plastic that the threaded rod connects to isnt that strong and strips, youd be better taking the lights out and having a good look at them Link to post Share on other sites
grom 0 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 ok cheers. I will have ago at that when I get my new grill. contacted the supplier and they said there should be an place for an allen key which adjusts it, pretty sure there isnt. they've probably never even seen the lights they sold me.nevermind Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 allen key adjusters are usually for left and right hand drive beam patterns not level Link to post Share on other sites
grom 0 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 yeah like i say, they've prob never seen the headlights before. theres something to be said for buying from a proper buisness as aposed to gaybay.you live and learn. Link to post Share on other sites
